    These are root name servers. Do you have a name server running?
    
    UDP (and TCP in cases where the DNS response exceeds the size of UDP)
    responses from port 53 on a root name server wouldn't cause immediate
    suspicion. I'm guessing you have a recursive name server (or some other
    application attempting recursion) and these responses are part of normal DNS
    recursion.

    Subject: Strange UDP Activity
    
    
    Greetings to the List,
    
    I recently started seeing strange UDP traffic to my home DSL, which is
    included below. It has been active for the last 4 days at all hours. None of
    these IPs are DNS servers that I use, and much of the activity is when all
    of my computers are off. Google led me to port 1067 as being an SNMP port,
    but I have SNMP disabled on all devices at home, and the ACL blocks it
    anyway.
    
    Is there a new vulnerability going around that I missed? So far I have not
    read anything on the list that looks like this...any ideas?
    
    Thanks for listening,
    
    Mike
